The Super Bowl has long transcended football, evolving into one of the biggest entertainment events of the year. While millions tune in for the on-field action, just as many eagerly anticipate the halftime show and pregame performances, which have become legendary moments in pop culture history.
For Super Bowl LIX, the NFL is bringing together a powerhouse lineup of artists, blending rap, R&B, jazz, gospel, and pop into an unforgettable musical experience. From Grammy-winning rap icon Kendrick Lamar to jazz virtuoso Jon Batiste, this year’s Super Bowl promises a diverse and electrifying soundtrack to one of the most-watched broadcasts in the world.
Here’s everything you need to know about who’s performing on football’s biggest night.
Performing the National Anthem, Jon Batiste is a multi-talented musician known for his work on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and his Oscar-winning composition for Disney/Pixar’s Soul. The Louisiana native has won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for We Are in 2021. His signature blend of jazz, soul, and classical influences will bring a uniquely rich and moving rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Two Louisiana legends, Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty, will come together for "America the Beautiful."
Daigle, a Grammy-winning Christian pop singer, is best known for her hit "You Say," which climbed the Billboard Hot 100 charts. She previously performed the National Anthem at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship.
Trombone Shorty, whose real name is Troy Andrews, is a New Orleans jazz sensation who has played alongside Aerosmith, Foo Fighters, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His signature brass sound will add an authentic Louisiana touch to the performance.
Performing the song often referred to as the Black National Anthem, Ledisi is a Grammy-winning singer, producer, and actress. She has 11 studio albums, earned multiple Grammy nominations, and played Mahalia Jackson in the 2014 film Selma. Known for her powerful R&B and jazz-infused vocals, Ledisi’s performance is expected to be a show-stopping moment of the night.
The Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show is set to be a historic moment as Kendrick Lamar, one of the most influential rappers of all time, takes center stage.
With 17 Grammy Awards, five No. 1 albums, and a Pulitzer Prize for Music, Kendrick Lamar is one of the most decorated and respected artists in hip-hop history.
Lamar’s music has shaped modern rap culture, delivering powerful narratives on race, politics, and personal struggles. He’s also no stranger to cinematic soundtracks, having curated and performed on Marvel’s Black Panther album, which earned an Academy Award nomination for All the Stars.
